Murder, He Wrote

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I’m doing some research on the city’s homicides.  Right now Indianapolis is at 12, which is about one murder every six days.  How does this compare to previous years at this time.  Check this out…

• 2009 - 12 homicides; one murder every 6.5 days.
• 2008 - 20 homicides; one murder every 3.9 days.
• 2007 - 23 homicides; one murder every 3.3 days.
• 2006 - 23 homicides; one murder every 3.3 days.

Either the economy is that bad and people don’t have time to commit murder because they’re looking for work or something else is going on.  Once I get it figured out, I’ll let you know.
